Friday Photo: Woodland Strawberries
July 12th, 2013
Those of you who follow my “Friday Photos” might remember that I enjoy growing unusual fruits and vegetables in my Wayzata garden. It’s the season now for the tiny white fraise de bois or woodland strawberries. Since they are so small, it takes considerable effort to gather a bowlful, but the reward is worthwhile. They are really delicious and too fragile to ever be found in the market. The white strawberries (actually yellowish), can be seen in my garden photo here.
